Some thoughts tonight while I lie in bed with my son sleeping next to me...Took some pain killers, knee is killing me from the surgery, so a bit loopy. Something hit me extremely hard tonight. This part of being a single mother that really sucks is when I’m down and out, my son is left feeling very vulnerable. His emotions don’t make sense to him and to see me in pain sends him into uncontrollable sobs. And wow does that suck. I can try to explain things to him, try to hold him, try to divert his attention but it really doesn’t work. This is such learning curve for me and humbling. If I’m being honest I do not feel equipped. He is suffering to see me suffer. How do you make that better?! I know I “over share” when it comes to Romeo but sometimes it feels very alone and I share to feel less alone. To reach someone who might have gone through something similar and can tell me it’s going to be ok. And also so grateful to the two people who have really shown up for me, no questions asked, fuck I love you @helenreavey @chanelncrocs I should probably delete this tomorrow. I love you Romeo and I’m sorry I’m not able to show up for you 100% right now. 😭
